Ford 4400, AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Hey, it appears that I have a problem... I said the other day that something exploded in the power steering system on my Ford 4400 the other day, but I now need a little help. Here is what I know, the return line going from the _____ to the reservoir popped off of the ______. If you follow the line from the reservoir inside the hood down the front of the engine, it then disappears behind the loader frame. HOWEVER, the metal pipe has been cut, and a tube is clamped on to it, which then continues 2-3 inches, and is cut again, with another clamp, so, something plugged and caused the rubber hose to slide off of what ever it was clamped to. Here is the problem, between dad and I we can fix anything, however we can't even figure out where the he** that hose goes too! We have scoured the machine, and because of the guy that had it before us, we can't get the radiator shell off, so what do I do? Any help would be GREAT! Thanks, Bryce
 
That line must be the return line. I could either be the return line to the reservoir or the gravity feed line from the reservoir line to the pump. Those aren't usually routed very far, so I am guessing it is the return to the reservoir If it were the line out of the pump to the steering it wouldn't be spliced as the pressure is so high it would blow off. I have given it the college try when I was in a pinch. It just doesn't work.

So that line must run from the steering cylinder or torque motor back to the reservoir. Even though that is the low pressure line it would still empty in a hurry.
